Just purchased Active Sky last night. Great product so far but I have a couple of questions. For realtime weather updates does my weather inside FS9 have to be set to USER DEFINED or REALTIME UPDATES? My second question is that I've noticed that haze or fog can just suddenly appear and then dissappear, is'nt the whole point of Active Sky to avoid these sudden changes? Do I have something configured incorrectly? Thank you.

Hi,I think it best if you headed over to the Active Sky forums which are here on Avsim...just further down the list from this forum.You'll find all the support you need there.Paul

Did my movie help you make the decision to purchase it? :(http://members.lycos.co.uk/electronicplayg...0easydriver.jpg

Reading the manual might help before you ask question that are covered in it. ;)

I always read the manual from anything new but like a kid I like to dive right into something the moment I get it :)

Have had the same problem. The solution I have (so far) is this:Firstly, on the Options menu, there is an option to select ICS (Intelligent Cloud Selection) + Random Sky/Environment OR ICS + Last Sky/Environment.Select ICS + Last Sky/Environment.This defeats one of the big advantages of ASV - that it is selecting sky, haze, environment and cirrus settings in response to weather conditions - but if you let it choose, that seems to contribute to the violent visibility changes you mention. And every time you get settings you like, ASV changes half of them.Secondly, get a set of files called Soft Horizons (softhr.zip) & install them. This lessens the horrible hard horizon you get by default.Thirdly, load the 64x64 clouds from ASV and set your cloud draw and visibility to 80 miles each (if your system can stand it)The advice you will get in the ASV forum is to cut your cloud draw and visibility settings all the way down to 30 miles, but I find that totally useless when flying at altitude.Couple of examples of what I'm getting are attached. May of course not be what you want!

I flew a 4 hour flight the other night ago and my weather behaved perfectly. Check out the pics. ASV5 (Real-Time weather), Flight Environment (Cloud textures):http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...07289&mode=full
